Ants

As a rule I never kill ants!
Acutally as a rule I dont kill anything at all. This is not very well appreciated as it increases the insects in the house. Anyway, since the last few days, the black ants living in our house have been importing in a different breed of worker ants. You may be aware that ants are exceptionally organized and disciplined beings. They are known to annex armies of ants(of another kind) to do their work. Every now and then, they bring in a new set of workers. The latest are really small red ants which do not bite! These are not the regular red ants. These are very small red ants who are very slow. Whenever I see an ant in a zone where it might die, I quickly blow it away. Surprisingly the new small red worker ants need to be blown 3 to 4 times! They hold their ground with amazing ease, as if they had sticky feet!
My father once said, “You may think that this is your house, but the insects think that it is their house!”
